'The following items were reviewed
1. Highway 27 and North Gorr Road Intersection
A letter was sent to Alberta Transportation regarding the poor
condition of this intersection Don Bell from Alberta
Transportation at Carstairs called - noted some patching work
had been done - what else did the M D require Discussed
situation with Oris Roger and advised Mr Bell the holes had to
be dug out and the area re -paved as it was not in good condition
Mr Bell indicated the contractor was gone, would have to get
funding for this work from his department (discuss with his
regional engineer) and noted the reason they did not pave the
goad approach was because it was soft, the surface was flexing
Viand they felt it would be best not to disturb it They are
'supposed to pave back 60 meters from the shoulder of the road
but this was not done He did agree the apron was broken up
because of the trucks turning
Oris feels they should be required to fix the apron as their
11sand and salt trucks sit on this intersection, turn around
there our road is soft because of the salt from their trucks
Executive committee recommend to accept the report as
information and Mr Rodger monitor the condition of the road and
follow through with Transportation if necessary
